Alen Teplitsky: the current estimates for the new Nexus tablet is $130 to $210 bill of materials. Google is not making any money on them and hoping to make it back on advertising or selling everything about you to their partners. apple has a target profit margin for every product they sell and makes money on hardware. you're getting your money's worth for…

Alen Teplitsky: if you look at the Bill of Materials estimates from iSuppli then apple is usually higher than the competition. 16GB ipad 2 wifi was $250 BoM estimate when it came out. An Android tablet that came out around the same time had a $180 estimated BoM. $500 retail for a device that costs $250 in parts is not highway robbery. the apple pricing for the…

Alen Teplitsky: iphone has better GPU. as an iOS and android user i like the App Store a lot better. the iphone premium is worth it for the app store alone. much better selection of apps and much better quality of apps. and on iOS everything just works most of the time. and apps generally support almost every device with OS support going at least 1 version back…
